Consulting is like a honey trap or golden handcuffs. The better you are at what you do, the harder it is to get out. Plus the more you earn the more you spend, and the more trapped you become. All you'll learn at a big consulting firm (or any large corporate) is how to enjoy a high income and learn to accept getting bogged down by corporate bureaucracy. You'll pick up more useful skills faster elsewhere without learning the bad habits. Get out there and make something people want instead.
